Audible Editor Reviews

Among the displays of foresight in this anthology of never-before-collected
prescient tales are H. G. Wells envisioning the use of tanks in warfare;
Jeff Hecht and Thomas Eaton pursuing the "whimsy" of high-powered laser
and genetic engineering; Vonda McIntyre building predictive fiction
upon the concept of print-on-demand organs; Fritz Leiber considering

solar power might play out. Stage, screen, and television veteran J.
P. Linton takes on the many roles, bringing passion, fear, humor, humility,
and, always, humanity to the words and visions of science fiction (on
the cutting edge of reality) masters.


Publisher's Summary

A fascinating collection of fiction-turned-reality tales.

Long before movies like Minority Report and The Matrix, the world's
writers have been recording the future as it might exist - and as it
turns out, they were right. This bizarre anthology collects the most
stunning predictions and imagined inventions here for the first time.
Visions of Tomorrow includes "The Land Iron Clads" by H. G. Wells, who
described a military tank in 1903 - long before it was ever a possibility;
"The Yesterday House" by Fritz Leiber, who wrote about cloned humans;
and many more. In this stunning anthology of never-before-collected
stories, our world's greatest science fiction writers demonstrate that
the truth can be just as strange as fiction.
